Mageia, a fork of Mandriva Linux, was released in alpha. The new distribution, which wants an operating system GNU / Linux easier to use for everyone, is expected in June for his first final and is currently distributed mainly to the developers themselves, to test that the distribution could be. The association which manages Mageia including former is composed of Edge-IT, a subsidiary of Mandiva longer exists.

The very name of the distribution is a nod to Mandriva, Magic Mageia meaning in French, referring to Mandrake the Magician, the former name of Mandriva. Mageia is not for everyday use, requires alpha version, but versions x86 32-bit and 64 bit there, waiting for other architectures. Wish a great success with this new release!
